Pert sounds too much like Robert Walls for my liking.

Wall was a Melbourne supporter as a kid.

 

Feels like we have a lot of weapons in the forward half now. Preuss looks like a handful and throw Joel Smith in there, there's a lot for the coaching staff to work with on top of what we already had.

Hunt has been impressive off half back. 

Really pleasing to see. Terrific game so far by Hunt. He looks really composed with ball in hand.

    Yep, in a game where, understandably, players having been getting up to speed, Hunt has been lowering his eyes quite well.

    Pert interview interesting. 

    Speaking about the stream he said fans want content, access and an inside perspective and they are going to provide that this year. Perhaps he hasn't sent the memo to his comms team yet but situation sounds positive

    Unfortunately I don't think Jeffy and JKH will feature much in 2019. I hope I'm wrong. 

    Bit hard on JKH, had plenty of touches and disposal has been ok.

    Garlett showing bugger all so far.

    Hunt’s performance so far looks very encouraging.. the Hunt of old perhaps.

     


    Have just dipped in and out of the Live Stream intermittently. Four players seem to be involved whenever I take a quick look - JKH, VDB, ANB and Hunt.  However, primarily because of the low angle of the cameras, it's almost impossible to work out whether their disposals are productive.

    It is a fantastic atmosphere down here - I’d guess around up to 5000 here?

    Really impressed by Trac and Harmes at ground level, JKH busy in the second term in particular, Preuss excellent in the air, and Hunt running hard but his kicking leaves a bit to be desired, Lewis and Hore very calm and composed down back

    Wouldn't mind seeing some camera work to show the set-ups at centre bounce under the new rules.

    Also, how far can players run for the point kick ins?  I thought there was going to be a big 'square' around the traditional one.  Couldn't see any markings so will the umpires be guessing how far players run?  

    On the new kick-in rule,  Max and Preuss doing well marking from the kick-ins.  It seems we have a set-up down field, depending on who kicks in.  I think we are working well with that new rule.

    That little checked kick by Hunt to find a target inside 50. He looks on this season. Would have blazed away previously.

    How great must it be to have facilities like these.

    We really lag behind the comp big time in that regard. Hope our leadership fix this soon.

    What a great training ground this is.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
